Yep, I’d say normal for new
Yep, I’d say normal for new fulcrum, my Campag Bora 2018s are very quiet, one problem is the pedestrians can’t hear me freewheeling up behind themYay! Cut the crown race with
Yay! Cut the crown race with new hacksaw blade, all is fine, headset glides smoothly. Now to measure the steerer 5 times, and another, before cutting that, wish me luckI was expecting a kilo in
I was expecting a kilo in weight, put it on the scales, no bottle cage bolts but it had the guide wires for internal cabling: 880g for a 56cm frame. I’ve half built it up now, otherwise would take a pic, looks like 6.5kg with Super Record and Reynolds carbon tubular wheels, Veloflex carbon tubsThanks mate, I’m in no way
Thanks mate, I’m in no way disappointed with the frame, I knew what I was buying into and it looks like good value for money, yeah the torque wrench and carbon assembly paste are by my side, if I’d been quicker could have got an RT90 for £100 quid less than the Viner……and it’s the same Frame!

Will do, so far the only issue is the crown race won’t fit over the fork crown – there’s a lip of carbon on the bottom of the fork X(Brakes fit fine, BB threads are fine………off to the bike shop tomorrow morning,not keen on dremelling away the fork crown, will see what they can do.!

What about the Viner Mitus 0.6 from planet x?Well here’s my 40th birthday
Well here’s my 40th birthday present for finally winning a road race; bit of 2004 retro, aluminium De Rosa Merak, Campag Record 10 speed groupset, got me through a 240km Etape and many other memorable days.
